THE STUDIO

A professional recording studio located in the heart of East Nashville's Five Points neighborhood, within walking distance of the restaurants, bars, and live music venues that define the area's creative culture.

​

Both the control room and live room were designed by Carl Tatz, whose work has shaped many of Nashville's most respected studio environments. 

​

The control room is built around the PhantomFocus™ System, delivering an exceptionally accurate monitoring experience with precise stereo imaging and full-range clarity from 20Hz to 20kHz - allowing mixes and production decisions to translate consistently across real-world listening environments.

​

The live room functions equally well as a tracking space, writing room, and vocal environment, designed to balance technical performance with comfort and creative flow.

 

A coffee and tea bar, refreshments, snacks, an outdoor + smoking space, and immediate access to East Nashville complete an environment built to keep sessions focused, efficient, and inspired.
